Associations between parental protective motivation, behaviors, and child outcomes in allergic diseases: a cross-sectional study based on protection motivation theory
Our findings reveal the relevance of measuring parental protective motivation as captured by the developed PMT scale. It had significant associations with key parental intentions and behaviors in managing childhood atopy. This implies the necessity of refined PMT-based interventions to support outcomes in childhood allergic disease management.
